Colourful cover of Prehistoric Worlds by Ashley Hall and Claire McElfatrick.
Belatedly sorting through some of my acquisitions from the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival last month, one of which is the wonderfully illustrated Prehistoric Worlds by @ladynaturalist.bsky.social & Claire McElfatrick. It was great to meet Ashley at Lyme Regis Museum & have her sign my copy of her book.

Huge thanks to Museum of the Rockies @museumoftherockies.bsky.social π¦ for bringing Riley Black @restingdinoface.bsky.social to speak at a special event discussing the black market fossil trade. It was a great evening!
It was so good to see you, Riley! (YES, we did accidentally coordinate!) π©·π©·π©·
A nicely written article, and I agree that museums must reach younger generations. But unfortunately the renovated exhibits at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History mask the fact that the museum has gutted a large part of their research on the natural world over the last few years.
